@daringfireball the only problem is that all this is on android, unless Google can fold into iOS I’ll pass.

@Strwpok @daringfireball

Google cannot "fold it into" iOS for an extremely obvious reason.

@dmitriid @daringfireball which is my point, it’s not for me because it’s hooked into Android OS which is a poor imitation of iOS.

@Strwpok @daringfireball

Nope, that's not the obvious reason why it can't be folded into iOS.

So we end up stuck with a shitty Siri that can barely set timers (and often fails to do even that).

@dmitriid @Strwpok @daringfireball in all the years of using Siri it’s never once failed to set a timer. Do you have a mouthful of marbles or something?

@delric @Strwpok @daringfireball

Lucky you. I've had it fail somewhat often especially while driving in a car, or quickly saying "thirteen" or "fifteen" which it sometimes confuses for "thirty" and "fifty".

As for "marbles in mouth", there are fewer people speaking Queen's English, and many more people speaking all sorts of accents in all sorts of situations.

@dmitriid @delric @daringfireball maybe you’re having an atypical issue, but there’s millions of people using Siri everyday (including me) to set timers, alarms and reminders. I’d be lost without it on my phone and Apple Watch.

@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball

1. I'm one of those millions of people

2. As personal anecdote: I've heard similar complaints from most people around me who trying to engage with Siri

3. Timers/alarms/reminders is a bit too little for an "intelligent personal assistant" that has been around for 13 years ;)

@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball

HEY SIRI ADD EGGS TO REMINDERS.

As for the actual useful stuff when you actually want to use it as an actual assistant? Well, I just tried it:

@dmitriid @delric @daringfireball

@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball

Did you add just eggs, or did you try and add, like I did, eggs, bread, and milk?

It has no issues adding one item at a time, I never claimed it didn't.

@dmitriid @delric @daringfireball I just did what you did in your post. I can try the additional steps as well, but I would assume it would see them as a single item to add to a list.

@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball

But I only see one item added in your screenshot, not three.

I'm my case it did attempt to add two :)

@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball

And that's why I'm saying that it's still as bad and limited as it was in the original demo in 2011.

It can barely do the absolute minimum of things, unreliably, even within Apple's own ecosystem. It's even more of a hit or miss when third party apps integrate with it.
